Wyse reaches 250,000 PocketCloud users -- gives us PocketCloud 1.1

Wyse has reached the 250,000-user milestone across Android and iOS devices. To celebrate this milestone, Wyse simultaneously launched PocketCloud 1.1, which is already available in the Android Market. Boasting industry-leading security, improved performance, and tablet optimization, Wyse is positioning PocketCloud 1.1 to be your one and only remote desktop app for your Android tablet or wireless handset.

Available in the Android market as a free or paid ($14.99) app, PocketCloud offers something for everybody. Enterprise users will appreciate its NLA (Network Level Authentication) security, while the casual remote desktoper (that's a term now) will probably be suited perfectly with the free version.

If you're looking for a more robust remote desktop experience from your Android device, join me after the break as I lay out some key features and bullet points for you.

I can't think of any reason I'd need to remote into my desktop computer. I can think of reasons that hackers might like to use this application to remote into other people's computers. No thanks. I'm good with my EVO, laptop, and desktop remaining separate from each other.

And this has plenty of practical uses. Say I'm out and I think of something I want to download at home, you open this up, queue up the download, and then by the time you get home its ready to go. Also if you're gone and a family member needs computer troubleshooting you can just remote in and fix it. This is a very useful tool.

As Murphy's law goes, If something can go wrong, it will. Well it always seems that things break when I'm nowhere near my laptop. It would be one thing if I had my laptop attached to my hip, but wait, I have this awesome device that IS attached to my hip. I can't wait to get that call and say: "hold on, I'm connecting to my system right now."
